Yeah. This is something I keep realizing.

So many people simply seek to 'support' their tribe/idols. Scientific debate isn't the point; loyalty and conformity is.

It’s a feature of a lot of religious culture. And, in an oddly similar way, influencer culture.

And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it unless there's a really huge personal connection/issue.

These are the people that seek things "to have their ears tickled" instead of ingesting the truth of the matter.
